The domestic couriers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $747.91 billion in 2025 to $833.93 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of e-commerce and online retail, increasing urbanization and consumer demand for fast delivery, expansion of small parcel shipping volumes, rising adoption of organized courier networks, improvements in logistics infrastructure.
The domestic couriers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.31 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for last-mile delivery optimization, rising focus on sustainable delivery models, expansion of technology-driven courier platforms, growing integration of automated sorting systems, increasing investment in urban logistics solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of same-day and express delivery services, expansion of route optimization technologies, growing use of electric delivery vehicles, increased focus on parcel tracking and transparency, development of urban micro-fulfillment models.
The rise in urbanization is expected to boost the growth of the domestic couriers market. Urbanization refers to the process of cities growing and expanding, often accompanied by migration from rural to urban areas. Higher urbanization results in increased population density, which subsequently drives the demand for courier services in urban areas with greater shipment volumes. For example, in March 2025, according to the Census Bureau, a US federal agency, between 2023 and 2024, the population living in U.S. metropolitan (urban) areas increased by nearly 3.2 million (a 1.1% rise), reaching 293.9 million. Thus, rising urbanization is fueling the domestic couriers market.
Major companies operating in the domestic couriers market are concentrating on developing AI-powered booking platforms such as intelligent parcel orchestration systems to improve service efficiency and maintain a competitive edge. Intelligent parcel orchestration systems are AI-driven logistics platforms that automatically manage and optimize parcel booking, carrier selection, pricing, and routing across various courier partners, assisting businesses in reducing costs, accelerating delivery, and enhancing real-time visibility and customer experience. For example, in April 2025, Daakia.com, an India-based logistics technology company, introduced an AI-based courier booking platform. The platform provides nationwide coverage through over 300,000 channel partners and includes a user-friendly digital booking interface with real-time tracking and flexible pricing options designed for MSMEs and individual users. It consolidates multiple courier partners into a single portal, streamlining last-mile logistics while increasing service accessibility, although companies must ensure robust network integration and data security as adoption grows.
